Biophysico-Chemical Processes of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soil Environments

Written by a multidisciplinary group of soil and environmental scientists, Biophysico-Chemical Processes of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soil Environments provides the scientific community with a critical qualitative and quantitative review of the fundamentals of the processes of pollutants in soil environments. The book covers pollutants' speciation, mobility, bioavailability and toxicity, and impacts on development of innovative restoration strategies. In addition, the development of innovative remediation strategies for polluted soils is covered.

American Academy of Microbiology.

“Overall, this is a useful reference book for researchers
and postgraduate students working in the area of metal/metalloid
contamination in soil. Its strength is in environmental
chemistry.” (European Journal of Soil Science, 1
June 2009)

“The book is a comprehensive resource for environmental,
agricultural, horticultural, and industrial researchers and
scientists. It is also an excellent reference for regulators and
practitioners in soil and environmental sciences and graduate
students in related courses.” (APADE, 2009)

"This book is an important contribution to the literature on
soil contamination by metals and its remediation." (Journal of
Hazardous Materials, April 2008)

"It can be a very useful guide to the PhD students and
scientists interests in environmental science and engineering, soil
chemistry, mineralogy, biochemistry and microbiology as well as
plant nutrition and physiology in relation with soil and
biophysico-chemical processes." (Environmental Engineering and
Management Journal)
